“I don’t prefer taking administrative action,” Obama claimed. “I’d rather see permanent fixes to the issues we face. Certainly that’s true on immigration. I’ve made that clear. I would love nothing more than bipartisan legislation to pass the House, the Senate, and land on my desk so I can sign it.”

“I take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue and Congress chooses to do nothing,” he continued. “In this situation, the failure of the House Republicans to pass a darn bill is bad for our security, it’s bad for our economy, and it’s bad for our future.”

With that in mind, Obama said he would be redirecting resources to the southern border to deal with the influx of illegal border crossings. This year alone, it is expected some 60,000 unaccompanied illegal immigrant children will cross the border.

This speech followed a confirmation from Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) that the House would not be voting on immigration reform legislation.

Interestingly, Obama’s executive action declaration comes in the wake of last week’s Supreme Court decision that the President had overstepped his authority with some of his appointments. Meanwhile, House Republicans are prepared to take legal actions against prior presidential actions taken without congressional authorization.

On radio this morning, TheBlaze Radio Network’s Doc Thompson and Skip LaCombe filled in for Glenn and attempted to run through some of the President’s speech – though the blatant inaccuracies ensured they couldn’t make it very far.

So, hiring people to “escort” these kids across our border, and trying to house them all across the US, isn’t executive action?

Obama is a Dictator…. Just feed the kids, care for them for only a short time (1 week max) then send them home. Those kids are the the responsibility of their parents and country of origin and not the USA.

Good question about the Marine in a Mexican Jail. What is our useless government going to do about that?

Watch it

Absolutely nothing. Obama is an anti gun nut – hates guns and gun owners. This guy was arrested because he had guns. See the picture? This is Obama’s message to the pro-gun sector.

Suzanne McLennan

We the People can stop relying on Government gamers. We have the power to make a difference. We unite and refuse to purchase anything coming from Mexico. That is how we get heir attention and no government help needed. They will be sending him home very soon.

Only God knows. Here is a thought though: take obama, holder, pelosi, reid, schumer, durbin and all the illegals and trade them for him hows that.

So for all of you hard working people who don’t want your wages brought down by cheap labor that the proceeds of which will mostly flow to south America, Obama is admitting that the biggest friend of laboring people are the tea Party.

You misspelled “fiend.” Let’s see, we could grant them amnesty or work visas, have them pay taxes and into social security, or we could pay a fortune for a Berlin Wall in the desert and the army to man it, plus deportation hearings, etc. Hmmm…

That’s part of the problem. They won’t be paying taxes by in large. They will just add to the 47% who pay no federal income taxes. the 47% which will grow and grow until it is 60%+. When most people don’t pay their fair share we become Greece

Send those kids home to the people who gave birth to them…they’re not our responsibility and if we don’t stop this NOW…there will be no end to this…being “nice, caring” with this situation is incredibly weak, dumb, financially disastrous and just plain stupid….if you HAVE to take care of kids, take care of your own or the ones in the U.S. here legally…I chose to not have any kids to not burden our over-population and in-breeding…..It’s NOT that I dislike kids….just have as many as YOU can afford and don’t expect the rest of us to take care of them…especially those here illegally.

This, is Obama using “Cloward-Piven” methods to “overwhelm the system, causing all this chaos, doing his “Imperial Dictator Role” and trying to financially CRASH our system of Capitalism…into HIS Marxist Agenda. Read C-P and you’ll understand. It’s the Eltist’s that live like King Obama and Queen Mooch-elle…the rest are sheeple.

Obama had this chaos, “Planned since Feb., as the Feds had an ad out to transportation companies, to hire them to transport 65,000 people to various places in the U.S. This”Liar In Chief” says one thing publically, then ‘behind our backs’ he is doing something quite different. This is Why HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED-HE’S A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR…of course, that goes along with the Muslim’s ‘taqqia-which is alright to LIE to the Infidels…that would be most Americans.”

Beck talked about Cloward-Piven years ago when HE “connected ALL the Dots on this Obama regime of Radicals….

ken.

exactly! they have had the votes for amnesty since bush was pushing it. but they don’t really want amnesty, they are using amnesty to keep us focused on it, instead of what they are really doing which is cloward and piven. once they achieve their goal of destroying america, they will deport all of them. they are pulling their favorite scam the “look over here while we do other things over there.”

All the House Republicans have to do to prevent President Obama from acting on his own is to pass a bill dealing with immigration that does something about the situation without entailing a whole lot of extraneous things the Democrats don’t want.

OK all you libs – here is your best case for abortion rights! Let’s do late-term abortion on all these illegal alien children, paid for under Obamacare (FINALLY a useful function for those “benefits!”) Problem solved – then even their own parents who are shirking their obligations to rear what they create will be off the hook permanently. How’s THAT for helping them “in the proper way?” They are ‘escaping’ nothing but unpaid laziness, and illegally emigrating to laziness-for-profit

http://www.bourgeoisviews.blogspot.com/ Anonymous

I thought that late-term abortions were illegal even to prevent the pregnant woman from dying. In any case, there are no laws or anything in the Constitution that allows the government to make abortions mandatory. It is supposed to be something that a woman decides with counsel of her doctor. Nobody else needs to be involved in that decision. It should not be mandatory. That’s actually a conservative concept that is used in China. It’s conservative because the aristocracy is afraid uncontrolled population increase could cause insecurity. It’s not good for business to risk revolution.

Anonymous

I was speaking tongue-in-cheek. Aborting 14-yr-olds? That’s late term beyond description. Well, firguratiely speaking I guess we could do it – we should aborth their journey here and boot them right back to home base! Can I get an amen?

Oh, you were talking about abortion. I didn’t realize you were really advocating murder. I suppose you could call an execution a post partum abortion, but it’s still killing a thinking person recognized as having been born. What you propose is contrary to the Constitution and the laws. President Obama is dealing with the child invasion according to law with the resources he has.

You’re right. I don’t see anything funny about saying you will eliminate illegal aliens by killing them. Some wacko might take idea and execute it.

Hey, at least Obama is making progress. He’s not blaming Bush for it anymore.

He’s got his foot on the pedal accelerating…ala Cloward and Piven to overwhelm our system. He has proven himself time and time again to not be for our country, quite the opposite. Now his administration is aiding and abetting illegal children, which is just horrendous, to enter our country unescorted by their parents or guardians. This is almost like human trafficking for political purposes. These unfortunates are being shipped all over the country and dropped off at various cities. Many carry diseases and many have not been vaccinated. This is going to truly place a great burden on our country. He needs to be stopped from this insanity and brought under control. When is enough going to be enough????

Obama’s lawless activities are completely propped up by the criminal Eric Holder as Attorney General. Mr Holder absolutely HAS to be impeached, convicted, thrown out of office, indited and tried in criminal Court and imprisoned for any of this to improve.

Funny thing to me OBAMAS own party can’t figure out where he stands on foreign issues and now the same with our border.
Obama pretty much sent these illegals invites to come into our borders. It’s not just his mess it’s our mess. Send them back and enforce our current border laws.

Let our border agents do their job and stop using your temporary presidential term to play King or whatever you think you are.

Remember that blame Canada song in South Park? If Obama could have his way and dictate this country, it would then thus be Canada’s fault. Yes Canada. Yes the Gop……da hell?

I agree with feeding the children just enough for them to not die then send them home. Both parties have failed in immigration reform. Secure the border first, but do not be some on our side who think these children are so evil we should not feed them before deporting them.

Don’t you just love how he keeps blaming Republicans for everything? When does Obozo in Chief take the blame for anything? We should appoint Joe Arpaio to take charge of the border. I bet he would straighten it out and we wouldn’t have all these illegals coming into our country. If they are having a problem in their country then that’s their problem not ours. We have enough problems right here in our own country. We don’t need them here to demand the same rights as the people who entered the U.S. legally. I am so sick of it all. Obama is one of the main reasons the U.S. is upside down. If Obama disappeared we could somehow go back to some normality. I hope we get more and more protesters and better yet I hope to see the day they drag Obongo out of office.

The President is frustrated — a community organizer without a community and no organization. Instead of ignoring his pride he’s trying to seize more power. Those kind of actions never end well. The rats jump the ship or go down with the ship — either way the sea is rough and perilous.

Mr. President should ask for help, not from the agenda-driven who are tearing him apart but from ordinary people who want to help. I don’t know if he will.

I’m reminded of the final scene in The Caine Mutiny where Lt. Greenwald, having just successfully defended the accused mutineers, reveals the true mutineers.

what else does Obama have left in his arsenal? He’s a marxist community organizer by trade. All the Great Divider knows how to do is blame others. He’s no leader, he’s a divider. Obama considers the Republicans the “enemy”. He’s already made that statement clear during the 2012 Presidential election. He sics the IRS and NSA on his “enemies” and he’s dishonest at the core.
